Instead, the moss will turn a gentle brown and then it will rapidly disappear, allowing the natural sward of your lawn to flourish.

While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. Q. We have been using mob acted for a few years but noticed that out naturalised snowdrop bulbs planted in the lawn are disappearing.The moss in your garden will greedily eat the potash in the fertiliser, but because it has a low tolerance to the salts in this substance, the moss then perishes naturally. You only have to wait just over a week to mow the lawn, and if you need to re-seed any bare patches, this can be done just four weeks after treatment. As moss is very widespread, any spores that survive the composting process won’t add significantly to the risk of moss forming in your garden. MO Bacter is best used in the spring, or early summer, to eliminate moss and late summer or early autumn to stifle its winter development.

Thanks to the fact that the moss is consumed by safe bacteria within the product, or is naturally removed when the grass is mown, you can happily keep your rake in the shed or garage. If you’re considering artificial turf as a replacement, bear in mind that this can also be colonised by moss and other weeds, and the RHS doesn’tendorse the use of artificial turf. Many people turn to moss killer products to keep this invasive plant at bay, but often with disastrous consequences, where lawns can quickly turn an unsightly black. In addition, if it were to be applied as a lawn mosskiller, there is a high risk it could blacken and potentially kill the grass – a problem seldom encountered with proprietary lawn mosskillers, especially those in pelleted form, which makes them easy to apply evenly and accurately.What are they, how do they work, what type of fuel do they need, and all of the little basics you may have missed. If the moss is only in a small area of the lawn, perhaps caused by shade, you couldconsider replacing the affected section with a more suitable alternative, such as shade-loving ground-cover plantsand plants that thrive under trees. Due to its unique benefits, the Commonwealth War Graves Commissionhave seen remarkable results in which 2 inches of moss was virtually eliminated in 6 months and they had no need for any additional work to remove the debris.

Loss: The coverage may not be enough for large lawns, and the product may need to be reapplied to treat the entire area. While it has a smaller coverage area of up to 200 square meters, it is a great option for environmentally conscious consumers who prefer to use natural products on their lawn. Application method: The granular form makes the product easy to spread evenly by hand or with a spreader, ensuring proper application and maximum coverage. Additionally, the soluble powder form may not be as convenient as other application methods for some users. Moss can be removed by rakingor using a powered scarifier, or by applying a non-chemical, bacteria-based moss remover.

Despie the heavy rain, we had very little moss this year and I have used the "no rake" this Spring again.

With a coverage area of 200 square meters, this product offers good value for money and can cover a decent sized lawn. If your soil is heavy, use a manual or mechanicalhollow-tined aeratorin autumn,every three or four years, which removessmall plugs of soil. Be careful not to apply lawn sand (ferrous sulphate mixed with a carrier) at too high a rate, as this can blacken and kill the grass as well as the moss (see note on ferrous sulphate, below). This product comes in a granular form with a spreader included, making it easy to apply evenly across your lawn.

It will presumably depend on the consistency of the product being spread, but do you know which number I should set for MO Bacter?
